Can Visual Studio 2005 Team edition for Developer coexist peacefully with Visual Studio 2008 Database edition on my machine? Are they completely separate applications that won’t interfere in any way with each other?
Update: What about Visual Studio 2008 Developer edition? If I install this on the same machine as 2008 Database edition, will it create two different ‘VS 2008’ installs or will they merge together as a single Visual Studio 2008 with the combined functionality?
2008 is side by side compatible with 2005. Also, be sure to apply 2008 SP1 as it will change the icon slightly so that you can tell the difference.
